Russian Roulette: 2 - B Sherif (robert munsch read aloud .TXT) 📗

I just sat there staring at my doctor for the last time. I've been here for 3 years talking about my feelings and how I felt on that day. I got kidnapped, get over it. I just don't understand why I am getting held against my will to be in this dump. Dr. Sparks just enjoys talking to me for an hour every single day. Just waiting for her to say the words. " Roulette she says, you have grown so much in 3 years. And I truly feel like it's time for you to be set free to enjoy life." I smile and say " I couldn't have done this without you." She shakes my hand and wishes me good luck. As soon as I walk out that door I see two detective waiting for me. This outta be good I say. Just before the detective says anything I stop her and say " Please stop I don't want to hear it, I just want some ice cream." They both look at each other. " My name is Officer Martinez and this is my partner officer  Wilmer. We both will be keeping an eye out for you." I wondered on why they had to watch over me. "isn't he in jail? why do I need protection for?" " Just in case he sends people your protection is , my main priority". I take a minute to myself. I look around and I say " this will haunt me forever even when I'm free I  feel like I am in jail. Can we please just go and get some ice cream" I say before walking away with anger.
I get into the car I am in the back seat, I roll down my window as we begin to drive, I feel the cool breeze onto my face and hair. Such a nice feeling if only I can feel this way forever. We go to this nice ice cream place. I order a nice chocolate drizzle ice cream. We all sat at a table, both the officers got ice cream as well. How is your father asked officer Martinez, I looked down at my ice cream. I haven't spoken to him in 3 years I say. You should call him said officer Wilmer. I laugh, he is the reason why all this happened to me, he's the reason why 3 years of  my life got wasted. So me calling him won't happen at this very second, who knows maybe in the next life time. I say angrily. Both officers are in complete silence. I get up and say can we go now.
We pull up to my driveway, I actually miss this house. Last  time I was here was when I was packing my things with Janet. Janet is now in Spain, she gave up being a lawyer and wants to explore the world. I am very proud and happy for her, she didn't deserve to be sucked in all of this. Do you want us to stay says officer Wilmer. No I say right away. No offence I just want to be alone and live a normal life. Yeah I know the feeling officer Martinez says. Here is my card if anything happens or if you just need someone to talk too I'm here for you. Thank you I say. They both get into the car and leave. I stand outside, just to take a look. I breath in and out. I can't believe that I am finally free and get to live a normal life. I reach into my bag to take out my key. I unlock the door and I already know what I have to do. I have to clean this place, nobody has been here in 3 years. But, it is going to be fun and exciting because I now get to live a normal life. I go to every room in the house and open all the lights. I go into the kitchen, my fridge is empty so I decide to order some pizza. I turn on the TV and search for a movie to watch. "Dingdong" my door bell rings. I get up  to open the door I see an elderly lady holding a plate of cookies, curly hair, I don't remember from before wonder who she is hello I say.  Hello, my dear my name is Claire I'm from across the street. I'm so sorry to bother you just wanted to bring these cookies for you. Oh thank you so much Claire really you shouldn't have, I said. I'd invite you in but this place is a mess. Oh it's okay I have an appointment anyways well welcome to the neighborhood. I stood there thinking to myself, she properly doesn't know that I've been living here all my life. I took the cookies and thanked her. I went and sat on the couch, I put on a scary film to watch and then my door bell rings again. I go to open the door and I see another elderly lady standing on my front porch and looking around our things. I open the door and asked how can I help you. She turns around a smiles at me and says hi Rou. Hello Jolyn, she used to know my parents. I am sorry dear she says I know you just got back I just wanted to make sure that you are doing well. I say that I am okay and thanked her for stopping by. Then the pizza delivery guy comes, well this is a bit awkward I think to myself. I pay for the pizza, would you like a slice I offer. Oh no dear once you are my age you can't be eating to much junk food. You enjoy your pizza I'll drop off a good meal later on tonight she says before walking away. I go back inside  and I decided to take a nap in my room upstairs, its been a while since I last sleep in my own space. I take 2 slices of pizza and continue to go upstairs. I walk into my room, it needs a bit of cleaning but it's actually not that bad. I guess my father had cleaners come  to clean the house. I start to eat the pizza I take another deep breath in and slowly exhale, that always makes me feel better. I lay down on my bed and my eyes start to slowly close.
Peter is staring at himself in the mirror while shaving his face with a knife. In the reflection of the mirror he see's two of the gaurds staring at him. Then, they give gave him a signal. Peter smiles and watches his face. Hands behind your back, one of the guards say. Peter with a smirk on his face goes with the guards. They take him through the back and disconnect all the camera's. I assume you got the payment Peter says. Both guards look at each other. You have 5 minutes until we call it in, say the one of the guards. Peter walks away and slowly starts to run and he catches a taxi.
I woke up in shock, I forgot where I was for a quick second. But I am happy that I woke up now I know I am not dreaming and that I am finally free, I'm finally able to live my life. I hop into the shower. I'm standing right under the water, this feels really good. I close my eyes and I just stood there.
Something breaks
I opened my eyes in fear. I heard something downstairs, I know that for a fact. I grab my towel and put my clothes on. I open to door of my bathroom I slowly look out, no one is there. I hear my kitchen tap come on. Now I know for sure someone is downstairs. I walk down the hall way and I grab a baseball bat from the closet. I walk downstairs. The lights are off, I continue to walk to my living room and I turn the lights. I see two teenagers on my deck. Who the hell are you two, I say angrily. Oh my god, I'm so sorry we didn't know anyone was home. I nod my head and said get out. They both leave. I almost had a heart attack. Peter is in jail and I don't know what happened to Oliver but either he's dead or in jail. I sit down on my kitchen table. Then, my door bell rings. WHAT! I say while opening the door. I can't believe my eyes it's Janet. Janet I yell before squeezing her. I love the way you opened the door, Janet replies. Aw, I am so sorry, my door bell has been ringing since the second I got her. Well you must be famous laughs Janet. Yay you got Pizza. Janet walks over to the table and stuffs her face. You can have it I say. Sorry she says and laughs I'm so hungry haven't eaten all day. I smile, you should move in with me I ask. I mean lets face it, you were supposed to adopt me 3 years ago and that didn't happen. I'm finally done therapy, I am okay now. Janet puts down the slice of pizza, she smiles  at me and says. Rou sweetie, you have always been okay, nothing in this world will make me happier than to move in  with you. I look at her and smile
 In the corner of my eye I see a shadow, I look a little to the right were my window is located. I look put for a while but I don't see anyone there. Janet looks back at the direction that I am looking at, you alright? she asked. Hm... yeah I'm fine I say. She continues to tell me about this self defending class that she wants me to take just in case, she passes me a paper with all the information. I told him about you she says. While Janet is talking to me I can still feel like someone is out here. Janet I say, wait here. Janet with a confused look on her face puts the pizza box aside and pauses.
I walk up to the door very slowly, I hear a light sound, like someone is fiddling with tools of some sort. I look through the eye hole at my door. I fall fast and hard to the floor. Janet gets up quickly. I crawl to her and say it's Peter he's at the door. Janet takes out her phone, there's no signal she says. We both stare at each other knowing our lives are over. Home phone I say let me see if we have a line. As I walk to the phone it starts to ring. Janet says don't answer it could be him. After a few rings the phone stops ringing. We both can hear Peter trying to unlock the door. We have to do something I say we can't just stand here. Secret place she said while looking around. What I asked. She continues to say, your father has told me that there is a secret place here where the gun is. My house phone rings again and my door is unlocked. Pick it up Janet says. He's already inside pick up the phone it might be someone useful. Hello I say as I answered the phone. Hey Rou it's dad. Hello Peter says loudly. My dad says to me go under the sing type in your birthday and mine together no space in full go inside the area it'll take you to a secret spot. I ran and grabbed Janet by the hand. I do exact what my dad said. I go in first, Janet tries to come in but she can't fit. It only take one person she says. Oh Roulette sings Peter as he
